Quebec's young director Xavier Dolan won 3 awards out of 4 at the Cannes festival today.

I'm proud to be Québécois today.

It's even better when we know that he had risked all his economy (150,000$) to finance it, since the governement had refused to invest in the film :thumbdown:

Only downside, the film will only had a theatrical release in 4 cinema (3 Montreal and 1 Quebec), even with the prizes it had won I don't have high hopes to see the movie here. But I will certainly buy it, the guy deserves it just for the guts he had.

I'm proud too to be Québécois today ;D
